Lieutenant Bryon Johnson Jan 16, 1975—Sept 24, 2007
Monday, September 24, 2007, was marked as one of the saddest days in the
history of Sedgwick County Fire District No. 1. One of the District’s
finest, 32-year-old Lieutenant Bryon Johnson was killed while fighting a
grass fire in the 9400 Block of South Broadway. Lieutenant Johnson will
be remembered as a dedicated family man, exceptional firefighter and
all-around good guy. On the job, Bryon strove for excellence in all
aspects of his career and someday hoped to become a member of the
District’s Fire Prevention Division and eventually fire marshal. In
pursuit of this goal, Lieutenant Johnson had just been accepted into the
prestigious Executive Fire Officer program conducted by the National
Fire Academy in Emmetsburg, Maryland. He was one of the youngest
applicants ever accepted into the academy’s program.
Bryon Johnson left behind a wife, two sons, ages 10 and 12, and many
friends and family members.
